Instead of computing the probability that "at least two" smartphone users use their smartphones in class, compute the probability that one or zero smartphone users use their smartphones in class.

Probability that exactly one smartphone user uses their smartphone in class:

= 0.41 * 0.042181 * 7 = 0.1211

Probability that exactly zero smartphone users use their smartphones in class:

= 0.0249

Probability that one or zero smartphone users use their smartphones in class:

0.1211 + 0.0249 = 0.1460

Therefore, the probability that "at least two" smartphone users use their smartphones in class:

1 - 0.1460 = 0.8540
